Might as well use the existing info and thread for this one. This pretty little (49cm) Gianella was gifted to me recently. The owner lived in Montreal at the time of purchase in the mid eighties. It was his wife's bike (Joan) and had been converted to a "fixie" as that was their challenge at the time. I re-dished and used the Super Champion rims on Pelissier HF hubs on another project. I'm sure it was built in Japan and the sticker says "Assembled in Canada". The seat post is 27.2mm. Serial Number w 6506. It remains in very good condition in it's soft pink to white fade. I'm in decided whether to sell it as is or build it back up.
Rear dropout spacing 125mm. Came with 700Cx28 and one 700Cx32 (very little clearance on the 32mm)

I think I can assume it is the Ishiwata tubing? The fork crown looks similar to some Mieles I've seen.

I contacted Gianella via their Facebook page but they knew little about it.
The original owners timeline puts it around 1985.


It makes me wonder how many are out there? Anyone have one to post?
